scottysprings Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Hey everyone. I've been experimenting with logo design recently instead of just uniforms and word marks. My district high schools are kind of wacky when it comes to logos. Up until last year, there was only one high school that went by the bulls and colors were red white and blue. The bull is pretty much the symbol and has history in mt town, Smithtown, so when both high schools split, both teams remained the bulls. High school east was given red and white as their main colors and west is blue and white. As far as logos go, the football and lacrosse teams use a ripoff of the Texans bull logo with either "east" or "west" inscribed inside. Basketball uses the exact same logo as the Chicago Bulls. That said, there is no set logo for the schools. I really want to design a logo and word mark set that can be used for all sports and create a solidified identity for the Smithtown schools. I have no clue if the athletics department will have any interest in my proposal but I will try anyway. That said, I have just recently begun the project of designing the bulls logo. I want to keep the tradition of the Smithtown bull without making it too modern. Here is the preliminary sketch I came up with for the logo.As you can see, it's not extremely modern like the USF or Buffalo bulls but I'm pretty sure it's the correct route to pursue.

neo_prankster Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Just use the bull head as a stand-alone and outline it in the darkest color of each school's color scheme. The Fictional Story of Austus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoopskid Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I love it. And that Bull head alone will make a perfect alternate logo. My only question is how will the back look? Will there be text or will the bull be bucking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottysprings Posted April 9, 2007 Author Share Posted April 9, 2007 I was planning on having the bull rearing up to charge and kicking its feet, you know like the Shawne Merriman "celebration". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
